In 1988 I attempted a thru-hike of the Appalachian Trail, starting in Georgia but eventually stopped mid-way at Harpers Ferry, West Virginia.
Then more life happened. Moved to New Mexico, married the love of my life, found a cool job, got kids, started a business, and eventually sent kids off to college.
Now in summer of 2012, I am attempting to complete completed The Trail. This blog tracks my preparation and progress.
And afterwards, the Continental Trail looks mighty intriguing.
Good blogging!
Hey Sagebrush,
I’m planning on thru-hiking the GET this Spring & saw your post on the GET website. I would love to get in touch with you if/when I get near Polvadera. We would probably have a lot to talk about (I’ve also hiked the AT & CDT like you).
Happy Trails,

Jim,
Great PCT notes and pictures with commentary even!
All our best,
Your NMVFO friends
